;)

2010-03-18T05:48:00.000-07:00

I either made an impression, or they simply have photographic memory.

I gotta figure out which was it.

hahhaha ask me anything, I'm bored!

2010-03-12T01:43:00.000-08:00

Am I ready?

I have to be, because life is not kind.
Happiness is short lived.

Sitting in front of the computer,I've been refreshing the excat same page for the nth time.
Clammy hands, i grab my bolster and throws over the blanket over my shoulders.
yes. I am scared.
I am freaked.

Virtual talks on MSN are popping up frequently.

Alas, it's 2.07. I refresh the same page for the very last time.
and there it is.
What I've been waiting for.
I daze, starry eyed at the computer screen.

The end of the journey, I'm a poly Graduate.

Uni,you're a tough choice.
I'm busted.

2010-03-07T03:00:00.000-08:00

detests the feeling of moving from a spacious living space, to a place where all is crammed.
detests the feeling of being taken for granted as a maid.

I am losing the connection between my
friends and I. damn I deserve it.

you don't give a damn about me sweeping the floor.
you don't give a damn about me mopping the floor.
you don't give a damn about me doing the dishes.
you don't give a damn about me ironing the clothes.
you don't give a damn about me folding the clothes.
you don't give a damn about me picking up your rubbish.
you don't give a damn about me spending hours on housework.
you don't give a damn about my hands getting rough.

" because she is aminah"

thanks a lot.

2010-03-04T01:35:00.000-08:00

life has been good, I think?
although albiet confusing at times.....

I'm adapting.
There is no choice but to adapt.
CHangi sailing club is nice.

Bali would be nicer.
KL would be a slackng trip in the Hilton. lazing in the pool,room,lounge.

OH MAN:( the future is so bleak

2010-02-25T07:06:00.000-08:00

Is going for a getaway holiday.
Not too long, but not too short either...

These 3 years have been amazing.
I've never worked my eyebags out this hard.

During times like project week where the work load really seemed endless with consecutive assignments being flashed on screen.
Or the crazy amoount of knowledge we had to burn-&-drink.

Throughout the whole journey ,I felt like giving up countless times.
Butt thank you friends, lik epotimah for believing in me.
Thank you Jiax, for falling asleep way past your bedtime.
Thank you koko bean, for buying me snacks to boost my energy level during study week.

I remember my Hello panda and mulberry drink companions.
I would down like 5 packets of Hellopanda.
Sugar rush!

Because the biggest hurdle, was believing in myself.
'Why am I studying this hard?"

The only reason why I studied sooo hard for these 3 years, would remain unknown to many.
I'll just pray, hard, that all efforts would not be put to waste.

ANYWAY. I AM A PROUD SISTER.
MY BROTHER'S THE BEST TRAINEE.
HA!
I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT OUT.
AM A PROUD MOMMA!

2010-02-24T05:05:00.000-08:00

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I know, I'm not allowed, to even think about my dream.

I'm not allowed to, but I insist I must

BUT WHAT THE HECK.

IT'S TIME TO REALIZE MY DREAM.

If I don't, I would grow old wondering why I studied so hard.

Very few people, probably a ratio of 1:50 encourage me to pursue my dream.

My costly selfish dream.

oh sigh. to be or not to be. selfish.

to chase or not to chase. my dream.

Chingay was awesome!

2010-02-14T23:55:00.000-08:00

The first day of the LNY is always spent at the shrine.
20 years of such a tradition, it would be totally weird if I some other house on the first day of LNY.

Everyone gathers at the shrine on the first day.
family members, distant relatives, shrine people, etc etc

Ang Pow collection used to be like key factor why everyone looked forward to the LNY. But as years go by, it's not the monetary figure that we look forward to. I used to chalk up to $500+ because I would be greeting everyone and anyone.

And now, I simply hide inside.

Seeing a few of my distant cousins only once a year brings on weird vibes. yeah. we dont talk.

With the extremely complicated family tree, I've got countless cousins. I would never ever recognise anyone of 'em even if they stood infront of me for a whole day.

And yeah, we hear the same thing every single year.

"you guys only see each other once a year, who know, you guys might fall in love one day, and it'll come to a point when the parents meet each other that you realise you guys are cousins! hahaha"

*inserts laughter.
"ok"

so yeah, one day I'll date some guy not knowing he's my cousin.

Sigh, I wanna set the fireworks too :(

Deepavali last year was spent in Pontian playing with fire crackers.

It's hard to describe how my family works, the places we go.

One box of fireworks played foul, so everyone was afraid to approach it.

Daddy and the cousins went to set it up. like throw candles, lighters..yeah

we ran down from the steep staris from the 4th floor to the 3rd. (open space filled with bat shit)

People were at the ground floor, 3rd floor anticipating the finale.

and yeah. It blew!

Pretty amazing sight.

The oldies were calmly sitting down on their chairs.

And we were hiding below plastic red chairs

Because the fireworks were flying all over the place.

We looked up and saw one flying towards us.

Jiax and I just squatted below the chair, closed our eyes and ears, and screeeamed.

2010-02-10T07:57:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow marks the end of my AMS journey.

What an amazing 3 years it has been.

From disliking the class, changing cliques, growing out of my shell, changing in every aspect, growing fat, not utilizing the school facilities, countless sleepless nights, finding a new clique, loving my class just the way it is, fun loving memories, camping in school, sneaking out to bathe in the restricted toilets, forming a big clique rebeling against the camp organizers, so many memories.

The polytechnic opened lots of opportunities for me, and I'm glad I dropped out from the JC. The lecturers and friends have seen me grow from a scrawny awkward person to who I've become today.

They say, I should have taken a 'before' and 'after' picture.

Publicity for the course next year.

Having met so many wonderful people who have helped me throughout.

Special friends.

And I think frequently, would I have lived in regret for 2 whole years if I stayed on in the JC?

Yes. I would.

I thank my sissy, who sensed and expressed my unhappiness in the JC to my parents.

I thank my dad, who guided me through the sleepless days,looking for the course of choice.

Just 3 years ago...I was just going where the wind(not technically, DUH!) blew me to.
I had no aim, no goal, no direction.

Mass Comm was a popular choice when I was in Sec 3, and I followed suit.

Soon, HTM's popularity caught up and I followed blindly.

But there was something about psychology, that appealed to me.
Too bad for me, the course was non-existent.

On the day I decided to drop out from the JC, my mind was filled with numerous thoughts.

The fear of being rejected because of my terribly late application.

The fear of being stuck in the JC.

The fear of making a wrong choice.

And up till then, I still did not have a course in mind.
I was still idling me life away....Childhood education, Apparel design, Vet Tech.

& my dad was throwing sucky courses at me...water tech..blablabla.

And just then, he chanced upon AMS's official website.
I read.

I chucked the rest of the printouts aside....because it caught my attention.
and it held my attention.

It was already past 2am, I clearly remember. But I was desperate.
I drafted out an appeal letter.

I sent my appeal out the next day, and prayed every single day that it was a success.
I called and enquired.
I was warned, not to pin my hopes on the appeal.
Chances were slim, but my hopes were high.

Jumped with joy, when I received the email of acceptance.
My heart dropped as I expected a negative response.
It was quite unbelievable.

I dropped out out TPJC immediately the next day.

And now, here I am, 3 years later...staring at my Uni application.
What's next?

2010-01-31T06:24:00.000-08:00

While attempting to read the 116 paged PDF report on the Uberlingen crash, Daddy comes along with a cup of ice cream. He scoops one big spoon of sinful Hagen Daaz and I stare at it.

"macadamia?"

*shakes head

Swallows the metling ice cream.

"passion fruit?"

"nope"

"mango?"

*shakes head * "nope, apricot"

"Ohhhhhh..."

When i think about the coming week, my mind experiences a wave of fear and exhilration.

Countless consecutive project deadlines, interview, presentations, talks, airshow and chingay rehersals.

Now, I feel tired all the time. From the second I open my eyes, till the minute I fall into a deep slumber.

I'm searching, for that side of me, just a few months ago, who was bouncing off the walls, multiple commitments, able to stick to em all.

BUT NOW....it seems like its a different story.

Very much looking forward to the final class chalet, and Phuket with the crazy buddies.

I want to do so many things during the long break, but I'm just so pre-occupied with life now, I don't make the effort to even move a fingger.

2010-01-22T21:58:00.000-08:00

Received an iphone as a birthday gift.

SERIOUSLY. I do not need birthday presents! or a cake.
hahaha

2010-01-15T07:00:00.000-08:00

Napfa ended today! +* pops champange*
In my opinion....NAPFA after three whole years is plain stupid.
BodohZ.

And for guys...it'll determine whether they're entitled for an extra twoo months of freedom.
Self discipline to train your own fitness level?

why not do that for JC kiddos ?
NAPFA after two years. Elminate pE from the ciriculum.

So I did fairly well :0
Or so I feel....hahaha
With my erm level of fitness, I'm very satisfied with my results
Hahaha

SBJ :4 (very close to a 5 :( oh anw, much better than while warming up)

Sit ups: 5 (duh!)

Sit &and reach : 5 (hahaha Double duh)

Shuttle run : 5 ( yay me! I'm still light! )

But what shocked me the most wassss my inclined pull up score!
My weakest link...I have not been able to pass this station ever since..secondary 2 when I started growing talk haha

Haha yeah serious. The ipu figure has always stayed at 2 all these years
But yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I managed 14pulls today!

So darn proud.h0h0h0

I can finally get my gold. I used to qualify with my points , but not grade

And I am extremely exhilarated I'm gonna get my gold ...I think

It was nice,seeing everyone get healthy together.
People finally got to see how it face flushes after I exercise. Yeah yeah
Babaoon buttocks.

A few days ago, my intelligance got insulted again, by my juniors!!

Gossssssh. I need to portray a less bimbotic image.
I must have a change of identity !

2010-01-11T04:57:00.000-08:00

Ohhhh Godddd.

I am losing touch with school work.
haha, yeah. seriously

Ever since school started, I think I've only attended probably 5 - 6 days of class.
Skipped the rest.

Lunch today was...really cool!
Free lunch.
A super duper long table setting, the whole set up was quite kewlZ.

Didn't have much to talk, because I did not read my aviation mags :(
Met a few familiar station managers and exchanged a few words, hahaha! good thing I said the right thing and remembered him, or I"d make him, and me a fool.

drifting off from the more serious subjects, we talked about holiday destinations, and food culture.
Soon, many had to leave, and so i shifted from one end of the table, to the other end of the table.
40+ managers present, so, you can imagine, the table was...relatively long.

Someone wants to take me to Thailand as his Personal assistant.
EW
cheekopek.

JAE today, was alrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright.
Talked a lot. Again.
From standing...to sitting.
Parents have loads of questions, and I have loads of answers (AHEM) for them.

My mean juniors would crowd, and as usual , push me into the crowd, and only back me up with their files. SO MEAN, EEKS.

Claiming I talk too much, I seriously don't realize I do.
Because, I really don't. HAHAHAHA

2010-01-09T21:12:00.000-08:00

My baboon friend.

Another crazy week ahead. JAE.
School is now 2nd home.

OH was fun....planning process was, UGH.
On duty for 2 whole days ( main comm MAHXZ) everytime 4 pm came, I would be exhausted.

Coordinating the Lecture Talk was, not tough, but not easy either.
Met a few people from SITA and SQ.

Because I was forced to go entertain them.
I'm not vewry entertainning ya know?

Darren the coolest lecturer calls my loser handphone while I'm talking to the RSAF expert,

" Can you do me a favour?"

"If it's within my limits~!"

" Okay, go and entertain the SITA speakers, the eurasian guy and chinese lady"

"huh....WHY, don't like that leh. Not within my limits"

"aiya...a while only!"

"OKOK, i'll do it."

Before 4pm

Hoards of students would pass, and I would be one of the few looneys that would aggresively approach em' like an irritating sales person you would love to give a tight slap to.

Oh...but with the gift of gab (Say what?) , I recieved compliments (LOLOL)

"I like your style! teach me..what's your pick up line!"

"Wah, how do you manage to hold their attention of so long? Usually, they'll run when i turn around and take a brochure"

"okok, go up and say..WANNA BE A MANAGER? HEAD OF DEPARTMENT? SALARY OF AT LEAST $6K? sec sch kids get conned easily."

Then comes 4pm...

STUDENT WAVE approaches.
Gets pushed infront of them.
i am like..the target of all humiliation by the juniors. SO MEAN.

*just distributes the brochure*

At times, I experience sudden outbursts

"ANYONE WANTS TO BE A MANAGER?"

"INTERESTED IN AVIATION?

BUSINESS?

ORDERING PEOPLE AROUND?"

I think, I scared most kids away, or so they say.

Left early on the 2nd day because of a costume fitting.
Heavy, bulky, but really pretty costume.

Practising how to walk for 1+km in a pair of 7cm heels, 2 sizes too small, with a sharp pointed front.

May I not appear on stomp.

Lunch with the AOC (gooooooogle it)tomorrow. eeks.
Why.................WHY MUST I BE IN MY CLOWNISH COSTUME. AGAIN.
It's like, I'm free entertainment. hahaha.
Apparently, we were pretty impressive during our internship (LAUGH OUT LOUD) that other airlines are keen in taking interns too. OKAY, AMS needs to give us an award of recognition.

I gotta prepare for the small talks tomorrow, which means, reading daddy's aviation magazines, and the past week's nooosepaper.
Oh man, my hair needs to be trimmed.
Or maybe i'll just bun it all up.

Okay, I'm lazy to step out of the house now. Bun it up I guess.

Finally, I got a chance to sit and have a proper meal without having to gobble or skip meals. OR miss ice cream during dinner because of the various planning issues because I was desperately tapping on WIFI typing an email furiously on the itouch, praying it's remaining 20% of battery life wouldn't die on me halfway. Thank all gods it did not.

OKAY. BACK TO MY AWESOME PROJECT LIFE.
TOODLES!

2009-12-30T01:34:00.000-08:00

As 20o9 is nearing to an end.... I turn back, and look at all that has happened during the year. 2o09 ends with a bang, a good one I wished it was. 2009 is nothing like what I envisaged, it, was even better.

I stopped making NY resolutions, and indeed, life was more fulfiling without them. My life in 2009, saw great changes.

WHOA! exploring a foreign land alone.

Just a day and I can't get enough of it.

Many times, I would subconsciously turn and call out to Jiax because I spotted something funny, just to realise, I'm alone.

Suddenly, being alone is no longer enthralling.

WHOA! I got posted to the most awesome

internship!

A life Changing experience, I grew ( physically and mentally)
My job opened up lots of opportunities and experiences, of which, many experiences taught me great lessons.

Suddenly, your decision is crucial.

WHOA! I got the opportunity to interact with

people from across the globe and all over the

world.

Acquaintances turning into friends into good friends, I am so very thankful I met them.
Suddenly, people want to be your friend.

WHOA! Being offered job opportunites by two

companies

It really proved my worth, not to anyone else ,but me.
I've always underestimated my capabilities.
Often being labelled as stupid, dumb, dull, ignorant, bimbotic
At one point in time, it really did get to my head, and I realized, all I needed to do was, seriously, Ignore.
I stopped talking to many people, relatives included.
Suddenly, you're in the limelight, and all eyes are on you.

WHOA! Getting into the Director's List

Boy, did it feel so darn good
Extremely SHIOK.
Suddenly, people think you're smart.
They shut their pie holes and have to eat their own words.
But at the end of the day, the DL just means you're exam smart.

WHOA WHOA!

clubbing.

Hm, definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Yeap. It pretty much sums it all about clubbing.

WHOA!

Being elected into the main comm is not a dream

come true.

Neither is it a nightmare.
I guess I should just embrace the opportunity to hone my leadership skills.
Suddenly, you've got endless responsibilities.

WHOA WHY.

Moving out, moving on

An emotionally painful experience, it was...Really hard to leave my home graciously.
The home that I spent most of my growing years in, it was really a place that I could understand the difference between a house and my home.
I used to look forward going home , all the time!
But now, it has only been two days.
And I am trying all ways and means to stay out as late as possible.
I dread , setting foot into the house.
Suddenly, you don't know where to go after the day's activities come to an end.

WHOA!

Pushing the limits

Pushing boundaries. I exceeded personal expecations.

Suddenly, I'm capable of anything.

WHOA!!

people notice you. From. Plain J that I am, it was

kinda awkward at first being noticed by many.

It may be clear, that I have never been comfortable with my awkwardness
My height, look, weird thoughts and actions
Suddenly, you've become a social butterfly and your social schedule is packed.

Meeting a great guy

suddenly, I think I'm lying.

2009, I never did expect you to be such an eventful year

2009-12-28T09:21:00.000-08:00

Sitting here in the living hall with the fan just 40cm away from me, I can't get to sleep.

I don't want to.
I can't.

I miss my room, I miss my home.

My eyes scan around, and I can see, the whole house from where I'm seated at. It's snowing outside, but it's a desert in here.

It's one emotional day.
My last night walk with Oshio yesterday was quite 'happening'
Talking to Oshio's human friend(I have not a single clue about who she is) through her window 4 stories up, and I on the grass patch, offering help to an old lady carrying super heavy magazines , tugging on oshio's leash (he was madly running around) attempting to cross the road when a China man offered to help.

I miss my neighbours already.
Yeah, I saw tears.
Oh sigh, what a day.

We were close, but the whole 'moving-out' episode brought us even closer. Not giving two hoots about how stupid I look, at times it slips my mind, that I'm SO SO SO SO SO OLD.

At ease when I'm with them, they're practically siblings. We grew up together, travelled across seas together, looked stupid together, got scolded as one.

At one point of time, it seemed, like we drifted apart because everyone was growing so fast, we were busied with our own lives.

Then, one day, everything just fell back into place.

It'll just take time, to get used to walking past a dingy house, instead of turning right, and walking straight on into my cosy home.

The Fourth floor, used to be a lil kampong, where we would run from one house to the other, frockling our days away.

And lil kiddish comparisons like, who had more hair ties, story books, etc, are still clearly etched in my mind. How Hi-5 was so cool, playing dress up in my room and getting reprimanded the next day for shoving all the clothes into my cupboard, trying out very best to stay up late to beat our record (12am) , barbecueing at the lift lobby, making my neighbours cry, chalet-ing and running in the rain.

Too many memories to list all out, it makes us laugh, at how dumb we were.

Oh well, 2009 is coming to an end.
It's been a crazy year (as I always say)

This year's activities and events have caused life changing experiences, emotinal turmoil, endless opportunities, and I am thankful they all happened this way.

2009-12-21T22:55:00.000-08:00

OHHHHH , How badly I wanna travel.

My last travel ( excluding Malaysia, turly asia) was

approximately 9 montths ago to BKK. The trip felt

extremely short and unsatisfying.

These 9 months feel like eternity.

It feels as though, I did not even set foot into BKK

at all.

Oh well, I'll just be saving up for my long awaited

trip next year after this term ends. Guess where I'll

be heading to with free accomodation? :D

HAHAHAHA, I am feeling exhilarated as I type

this out, I just pray daddy allows me to travel

alone. But who cares if he doesn't , right?

But then again, I'd love to travel with my friends to

Taiwan/Perth/Vietnam

Man, what a tough choice.

Ultimately, it's quite obvious, I would jump at the

chance of going to..SPAIN!

It's a well deserved trip, for me :D

I can list a hundred and two reasons, starting

with...

I am pretty.

This is one busy week, drats

2009-12-20T21:18:00.000-08:00

Off to the stinky place. May I not die in the lift

2009-12-18T00:31:00.000-08:00

Don't ask me out.

I yearn to stay home and breathe in the homely scent of my home for the last few days.

Today...I almost choked and died 13 floors down , in the lift.
And I know where that smell came from.
My neighbour-to-be.

I don't wish to say this....BUT I HATE THEM.
AND I CAN'T HELP IT.

ONE HELL OF A DISGUSTING SIGHT.

OH GAWD.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT LIFE IS GOING TO BRING.

I'll be staying next to a slum for the next year or 2.

A place where all rubbish is designated to be dumped in.

A dumpster.

Uncouth mouths and howling dogS.

Clogged up pathway.
If I die in a fire my friends, it's been nice knowing you.

A stench so bad, I hold my breath when i step out of the lift till i reach my doorstep. That's probably....30seconds. I would run if I have to.

We used to greet em when i lived there 11 years ago, well, we were forced to by our parents. Ugh, parents.

Well not anymore.
Man, I'm gonna miss my neighbours.

i'm sorry, i've sinned from typing too much.
BUT SERIOUSLY.

I DON'T REMEMBER HOW I SURVIVED MY PRI 2 DAYS LIVING NEXT TO A PIG STY.

Maybe it was because I had too much fun tormenting the Neighbours living one floor below us.

And now, I've found my new target.
That family is dead.

Okay, this is very very unusual, but I spammed Jiax's handphone with a string of my picutres. So...embrace yourselves and scroll on!

But first, a picture of my beloved!

2009-12-16T06:58:00.000-08:00

Today was a blast.
Hill Billy family.
We laughed till we teared

If things don't go well, WE are gonna move out.

Not the whole family, but WE.

It's gonna be hard, having to adapt to a totally different lifestyle.

Living out of a carboard box and on the cold hard floor, I am relatively afraid of what's to become of us.

Pay no heed to the total destruction of mess.

HAHA, it's a pointless picture anyway.
I know you wanna pinch those chubby cheeks of mine :D

Need to pack pack pack pack pack!

i feel a lot better today.
it seems lke it's only my family, who'll be able to take my mind of certain issues.
i'm glad i've got them around.

2009-12-13T02:47:00.000-08:00

This year...has really been one hell of a year.

and poti, i beg to differ when u say i should be happy i only meet 1 problem, cos the other 9 ran away. I don't like problems. who does anyway... hahaha.

The end is nearing, and all the situations that I'm caught in, is still unresolved. I don't wanna step into the new year with old problems. Ya know?! Neither do I wanna embrace the new year with new problems.

Oh man, I need to alter my Problem-o-meter.

Long term problem - would have to be addressed in a few months time.
Damn, ya'll know what I'm talking about.

It wasn't a problem. Until recently when I became homeless.
Money is always an issue.
tsk.
I need to get big financial aid to see me through.

But have I done well enough? UGH, apparently not.

Even 'The Father-Mother scholarship program' is out of reach

Short term problems- Are way too senstitive.

My home is a big empty space.

I never did realise how big the house was.

It's time to eat from the floor. The TV set is gone, the sofa is gone, the dining tables are gone, the cupboards are gone, the boxes are gone( mummy counted. and it's close to a hundred)

I kind of like the house this way.

free and easy, I'm gonna vandalise the wall before I leave.
I have to leave my mark , right?

2009-12-10T08:09:00.000-08:00

Now what?

My handphone is a lagging piece of equipment.

extremely laggy, a whole SMS can take me up to 10 minutes.

Caught the tekong virus again.
Always at thte wrong time.
studying was.....horrible!
not fun not fun not fun not fun at all.

My last term test ended with a sneeze.

i dont wanna shift out :(
2 weeks and counting down...... I've gotta pack my stuff up soon :'(

2009-11-29T06:01:00.000-08:00

I am contemplating.....about my next step in education.

It's either now, or never, to explore the other side of the world.

To grow independently, To make a decision to fund my own education.

But if I do so, I'll be surviving on cup noodles for the next 2 years.

Who knows, I might just emerge as a chef after the journey!

WHO KNEW, THAT I WOULD BE GRADUATING SO SOON?

2009-11-26T06:50:00.000-08:00

If I had to pick one word to describe what i'm feeling now, I would have to choose, NOTHING.

I just feel, empty.

Just yesterday, it was the 1st time, that I ever woke up and my mind was filled with troubled thoughts immediately.
I did not feel happy.
I do not need to feel happy.

But it was the very first, and I do hope it's the last, time that I woke up feeling perplexed.

My handphone rings on non-stop.
& at times, I just feel like, cutting off my line and stay disconnected to the rest of the world.
but then, my dear friends, i think of everyone of you and leave the handphopne switched on. hahaha.

being prank called is not fun.
7 sms-es just came in, like what the hell.
commitments commitments commitments.
I hate the phone.

This year has been one hell of a year.
I'm kinda glad it's all coming to an end, just need to solve one major problem now.

Laughter, is a very powerful way of expression.
Emptiness, nullifies the power of laughter.

2009-11-21T22:00:00.000-08:00

I wish I was a mean person.
I'm destroying my life being nice.

2009-11-21T06:41:00.000-08:00

i'll cheer up next week.

2009-11-14T00:47:00.000-08:00

Campus relay

I woke up this morning, and looked like a mess.

dark eye circles so very obvious because i'm fair, one zit on my cheek, and a creased forehead.

I dragged myself out of bed....at 6.30.

I've been surviving on a few hours of sleep these few days, I think my life is kinda twisted.

I hung up the phone at 2.30am, and couldn't get to bed.

Please, never call me after 12.30am. My brain stops functioning after 12.29am.

13-11-2009 CCN day

Looking very very tired.

I am quite amazed, that I'm slowing adjusting how much sleep I need.

I used to sleep for 8-9 hours and still slept in every lecture.
But this few weeks...have been different.

Maybe it's the internship @ QR that has tuned my body to be more adaptable.

The reactions of some AMS-ers have been quite funny when they hear I was running for it.

"OMG, ANOTHER SIAO ONE"

"Whoa...future CLO, like that?! hahaha"

"I don't know why I voted for u, but I did"

even better, during the breifing in the club room about 5 days ago.

lecturer comes into the clubroom to talk to us.

I was seated with my back facing him just right below his nose.
he briefs us on certain procedures.

I laugh...he looks down.

I turn my head.

"WAh, this girl arh!?"

The whole room bursts into laughter.
So mean :(

2009-11-13T03:46:00.000-08:00

If i said i was happy, i'd be lying.

I got nominated into running for the main comm elections.

I don't know what made me say yes, but i did.

I did a ris low BOOMZ 'pick up line' and it scored me all the votes.

It's embarassing, to see people i don't know, come up to me and BOOMZ in front of my face.

Only 1 year 3 is to be selected.

And.....i am unfortunately the lucky one to win hands down with a landslide vote.

I was up against 2 guys of which one volunteered willingly, and the other 2 of us were, not very enthusiatic about it.

I don't know what made me go BOOMZ, but it seemed like I was trying to portray an image that I didn't take the elections seriously.
& my friend...gave a short speech about how he wanted to contribute to the club.

I really think I should give up the place to the guy who wants it more, right?

I still think it's a popularity voting 'contest' and, just because I BOOMZ-ed in front of the whole AMS village. People remember the stupid things I do.

The whole short speech I made was for show.

Purely for show.

I really question myself why I said yes.

I don't think I'm the right person for the job of liasing with the cohort.

Today was a great day of bonding with my juniors.

Interesting is just a nicer adjective for describing me as weird.

People laugh at me. Not with me.

I still don't think I'm weird.

2009-10-28T07:30:00.000-07:00

SCHOOL.

I either love school, or hate it.

and I'm currently in the 'love' school mode even though lots of work needs to get done.

Like as if 24 hours a day isn't enough, got sabotaged for the upcoming CCN day committee.

sigh.

We've been thinking...about our future.

and the future seems so bleak...I think the only option is to get an overseas degree.

I don't wanna complete a degree in Business Administration or Accountancy even though we're given 2 years of exemption.

My passion for aviation has not waivered.

I want a degree, in Aviation Management and Business administration.

Where aviation is key.

OKAY, time to train for NAPFA. I AM VERY VEERY VEEERY UNFIT.

2009-10-15T00:25:00.000-07:00

Decisions Decisions Decisions.
Currently, my life is kinda screwed.
It's filled with lies.

No questions to be asked.
Because no answers will be given.

These 2 weeks have been weirdly enjoyable even with the jam packed schedule which made me reject 2 birthday dinners :( and a few friends.
my bad.

Life is getting so messy, I'm kinda glad school is starting soon, because life is so much simpler when I'm studying.

My back is breaking, and I have no idea why. Sitting down really hurts....

I wonder would i have gotten the same 8k f1 ticket if I did not reject the offer?

2009-10-08T02:57:00.000-07:00

These 2 weeks....is way too short to complete anything and everything.

Trying to use this break to catch up on sleep and soothe those tired eyes from 6 months of shift work, the curfew I've set would probably be commented by most as the-night-is-still-young.

It's been an eventful week, I'm looking forward to the weekends :)

really really eventful.

These 6 months, have seen me grow....socially, mentally, and physically (heh) I've done and experienced many new situations and events that I never thought I would go through. Many first-times, Many second-times.

Come to think of it, my project has be swept away into a corner.

It's time I dug it out.

I miss my brother.

Way more than when he was away in HKG for 2 months, where I knew he was enjoying every moment of it.

But now...it's only for 9 days, I already missed him before I sent him off.

The shuttlee bus and ferry was eerily silent (picture this: transport to death camp, concentration camp bla bla) except for the voices and laughter of my brother and I. Serious.

But the ride back home?

I didn't know who else to talk nonsense to.

Jiax was....sitting away. So i napped.

2009-09-30T21:31:00.000-07:00

Today was supposed to be the most eventful day in my life.

And now...it's all become mundane

2009-09-28T06:02:00.001-07:00

Oh the contrast.

LL and GN claims I attract too many married man.

Thus, LL disallowed me to go down to the ramp today.

But i still sneaked off to the ramp with the engineer.

Needed a few shots for my project.

It's 48hours away from Gooodbye QR.

I really wonder, after I surrender my airport pass, what will be the thing that I miss most?

Walking in an outta transit so freely.

It's gonna be haaaaaaaaaaaaard.

2009-09-22T07:39:00.000-07:00

I rejected F1 tickets today....from. someone right at the top.

I think I rejected it in the most embarassing way.

What a genius I am.

I actually spent a really long time in the toilet, cos I was a lil..freaked out.

It's the kind of feeling where you are feeling super anxious, but anticipating what's next.

AS came to the toilet looking for me.

I don't know if i'm lucky or unlucky?

I'm just glad I didn't blabber rubbish, except for the F1 tickets. Gosh.

I'm quite proud of myself.

BUT ......

the whole world was lying to me!!! ahhhhhhhhhhh.

okay, technically, not the whole world..BUT AHHHHHHHHHHHH

I thought the drama was over. hahahaha.

How can someone up there hear about someone down here?

I should have worn something nicer today.

It was a great experience.

I really, do not belong in their league.

Epitome of classiness in bitching. Sigh....wow. Wow.

2009-09-03T05:47:00.000-07:00

I LoVe this dog!

So, do we still look alike?

The 1st few seconds stunned me when I picked up the call.

And suddenly, the one , who disppeared from my life for around a month, just reappeared , out of nowhere!

Nothing that his secretary said registered in my brain, because....

I thought the whole fiasco was over a month ago.

HAHA. HOW DUMB.

Hm..... one day,If i get sent off to a country 7 hours away from here.

I just wanna say...IT'S BEEN GREAT KNOWING YOU GUYS.

But obviously, I'm not THAT stupid to be agreeable to be sent away.

Hehehehe, I think, I'm gonna change my handphone numer 27days later.

Cos, something's not right when......

People of certain cheekopek status get your number when I did not disclose any personal information!

tsk tsk, someone must have sold me out to the DAWGS.

I gave the box of chocolates that K gave to me to the DIC.

Healthy eating.

okay, not very nice for doing so, but i did it after the flight departed! HEALTHY EATING!

I'm gonna make him bring me to see the BEP. HA.

DO i really have to go on a date this saturday just to prove i'm not gay? :(

what if I am. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can't think straight is a really nice movie.

2009-09-01T07:24:00.001-07:00

I wish I was on holidays too .

I'm the most anti-social person,ever!

Somehow, I've always doubted the words of the wise.

And now, I think I've become part of the wise clan too.

" Being a student will be the best time of your life"

I really do not wish to step out into the world of the complicated.

2009-08-24T06:20:00.000-07:00

today...has been an eventful day.

Quite dramatic...but I'm sure, Tomorrow's drama...

is gonna increase 10folds.

well, at least, the drama for today was , good.

I laughed till my back ached, till my face turned red.

It's all because of....

I think we went crazy together. HAHA, i can't wait to work with them again.
most kuku SIAEC engineers.

I'm very sure he has a crush on me. HAHAHAHA

Body builer/bouner/personal trainer. SO DAMN COOL let me go google his name, to see if it's true. He didn't wanna take his shirt off. He's fasting.

But , I forgot his name.

if u noticed, i was in the midst of writing something

She's just 1cm shorter than me. she made me laugh cos she laughed at what i said because everything was so funny.

toodles! am no crazy bimbo. so hurtful, tsk

2009-08-23T09:09:00.000-07:00

So bitchy ...So bitchy.
I'm afraid I've fallen into this sticky web...whichh I can't seem to untangle myself from.

This is worse than I expected.

it's worse than what happened last month( which I thought only happened in movies)

It's like, I'm stuck in the office worl of Gossip girl.

Why?
Why me?
I'm always present...at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I hate gossips.

I HATE.

I'm at loss , now.
What I said with no ill intent....was actually, a very sensative issue.
I didn't know it would get so complicated.

I used to think I could keep all secrets.
But it's the 1st time, I feel I've let myself down.
I'm disgusted at the world of Office Politics.
I'm disgusted at me.

This was not what I wanted.
I don't know what to say anymore.
I think I'm gonna tell the truth.

But the truth is....is telling the truth always the right thing to do?
I'm scared.

I froze in the office today.
My hands were pale and icy cold..my tummy was flippin.

I was caught off guard..
I did not lie. But I did not tell the truth either.

Vice Versa, it's gonna cause a rift between all parties.

WHY ME?

2009-08-10T02:43:00.000-07:00

How I spent my 9th of August.

Goofing around with the Tech crew

My stupid camera was giving me a lot of problems

WHY!!!!!! What a lousy camera.

Post flight.

It's Syirin!

I must say, this year's NDP parade was...Surprisingly good.

Or maybe it's because I wasn't enthusiastic about the whole event because, I HAD TO WORK, which made the whole parade look so good because I was Envious.

So anyway, some buyers came over to view my home.

This offer's really high and it would probably go even higher. yay! profit profit profit.

it'll be decided by this wednesday and, I'll be 'evicted' by the end of the Year i guess.

So the current plans are.

Stay with my aunt in her spare house(AGAIN) for 2 years

Invest in a plot of land with the neighbours

Build a large home with the neighbours

Live happily ever after

2009-08-06T22:07:00.000-07:00

I used to think that cabin crews were bird brains.

I still do. Just that I do not stereotype all of 'em under the BRAIN OF THE BIRDS category.

With these few months of socialising with people whom i once thought were bi/himbos, I've realised, at least 20% of those i've met are actually quite knowledgable.

Using this job as a stepping stone($ KA CHIIING$) to further their education is definitely a smart choice.

Saving up what u've earned is...whoa good enough to get you a condominium in a few years time.

From cabin crew to a pilot, whoooo hoo. such a smart move.

Having travelled the globe is like, an eye opener.
SOcial etiquette, his-story of his-storical places, cultral shocks.

wowee.

Definitely not a job for a lifetime, but I'm sure it's a fantastic experience.

Definitely not for the homelies, especially if you based oustation.
Aw....SO DAMN COOL

2009-08-03T09:09:00.000-07:00

If I ever get played out , I will definitely freak out.

Kept in the dark about such a political situation......I hope No.1 never ever drops by.

I WILL CRY. okay kidding.

I kinda figured our why I was requested to work yesterday.

But in the end....it's a good thing he wasn't onboard.

I'm not sure about anything...just speculating.

But everything seems to fit.

SHIT.

Why do my worst imaginations always seem to come true, and what I want always seem to go the opposite way.

I'M MOVING OUT :(

I'M SAD :(

VERY VERY SAD.

To somewhere far and seculded.

A small garden and swimming pool.

A huge main door.

Steps to the house.

I am comfortable at where I am...Why move?

2009-07-25T09:57:00.001-07:00

Today, I ran from the podium to L1 of the aerobridge after I was summoned over the walkie, only to find out that it was all because the damned engineer wanted to see me.

Bloody shit.

SO what if he's kinda good looking?!

I'm so not interested in you.

A.hole

why are guys full of crap?

Hello.....I ran all the way, for NOTHING!!

I thought something came up or my help was needed....

How could I be played out by me colleague!!!

-Edit-

If I ever see K the engineer again, I will kick his ass.

2009-07-24T08:17:00.001-07:00

It's not a problem yet, but soon it will be.

I hope it stays this way....

Everything is so suspicious....fishy....

Why am I called back to work on XX day of august?

I recieved a phone call.
I knew straight away.
But as usual, loves to live in denial.

Now, I have learnt to....

not think about the future.
it's so unpredictable

I really did think things like that only happened in movies.

2009-07-22T23:57:00.001-07:00

I was cautioned not to answer any overseas calls/unknown local numbers a few days ago.

Everything was so dark and mysterious, my imagination went a lil wild leading me to my wildest thoughts.....the epitome of impossibility.

And yet, it came true.

It's 'TOP SECRET'.

& I'm supposed to be....in the dark when right now I'm in the zone. Yet, I have to pretend to be clueless.

I do not wanna get involved, because, if I did, it would probably be the biggest scandal I've ever gotten into....INVOLUNTARILY.

THIS IS UTTER NONSENSE.

IMPOSSIBLE.

NOT POSSIBLE.

I'M JUST AN ORDINARY PEASANT.

PLAIN JANE'S DAUGHTER.

I THOUGHT IT ONLY HAPPENED IN MOViES

but then again, this may just be a blessing in disguise.

OMG, what am i even thinking.

i bet it's an April Fool's joke!

2009-07-22T22:20:00.000-07:00

2009-07-18T11:49:00.000-07:00

Rid(t)z said," Apparently, you seem to be quite famous in DOH" .

The next time he'll be operating back is in September......that's a long wait for my chocolates.

Good thing I'll still be hanging around.

It's nice, how people remember me and I don't.

It used to be the other way around...but meeting people all day at work makes your mind come to a point where you involuntarily choose not to remember match faces to names...events to people.

And I feel bad for doing so....Passengers/crew have come up to me and narrate a certain event and I'm clueless(although I pretend not to be, and it feels faaake! omg) but they look real and sincere...I try my utmost best to recall.......

Sometimes i do, sometimes I don't.

This passenger came up to me after scanning his boarding pass (he looked really really familar) and said

,"you're the one who took my wine!"

"Ohh..no wonder you looked so familiar"

But I do not remember taking his wine away.

2009-07-13T07:23:00.001-07:00

I feel so guilty....I felt worse yesterday morning

to decline a person a 2nd timedoesn't seem nice of me, right?

Especially if the person was a really nice person?

Anyway, the captain wants me to be his goddaughter afer learning i'm waay to young for him.
he's super funny, witty person. Fit to be my grandpappy.

I've ran out of formal wear to wear.

2009-07-09T23:52:00.001-07:00

I've got to be .... more direct.
I have to learn to run all egos down.

I am really disappointed with me, for how I reacted, or rather what I did not do yesterday.

It's probably my fault too for the aircraft delay.
I chose not to take control, and let everyone's opinions override me.

at the end of the day, I felt like the fool.

But still, we didn't like most of the idiots operating the flight yesterday. BUnch of troublemakers.
They create the mess and expect the groundstaff to rectify it.

I need to be stronger.
I used to be...maybe 11 years ago.
But I've changed.

And from today I'll be changing , yet again.
It was a lesson welll learnt, painful experience.

Ns laughed till she teared(badly) after we realised how funny an incident was when she was in the Aircraft with PJ. But at that point of time, she was so pissed of with the crew and passenger, she did not realise how funny it was.

I WISH I WAS THERE.

2009-07-06T06:50:00.000-07:00

I should venture into PR?
Mr G. asked me to.
But I was too tired today, literally, I felt like i was in school...almost dozed off at work. I didn't know waking up 5 minutes earlier than usual would have such an effect on me.

HA.

i really did not have the mood/energy to entertain the passengers...
I was, hiding behind the counter, trying to sleep with my eyes open.
Saw Cadbury and goaty.
I think I spent a lil too much time talking to them..HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHA.

I MISS THEM SO MUCH! oops.

Okay, PR PR PR PR PR

2009-07-01T08:22:00.001-07:00

I'll be moving house..........Soon.

2009-07-01T06:57:00.001-07:00

Passengers with poor english who try to show authority really do get on our nerves.
Bloody group of incests.

SORRY. I've learn that the freak of nature passenger is not always right.
And just because SIN emphasizes a lot on customer service, that does not give every single passenger the right to throw your weight around and talk to us like we owe you bastards a living.

I got really pissed off today. No wonder people are so vulgar. Because of assholes.

My voice went a pitch high and louder because I was getting really mad at this freak of nature over the phone.
Good thing I was patient. THAT SUCKER.

These few days have been fun. last few days working with SS cos i'll be following LL's shift soon...SS's really motherly, but she's firm. I had lots of fun working with her, and put on lots of weight. OH WELL....hahaha.

Stinky cheekopeks.
Why can't those guys be handsome ,young , brainy and rich?

Okay, the captain wasn't ugly...in fact, he was pleasant looking.
But, born in year 1959? Sorrwie. You can actually be my Oppa.
We thought we were in trouble because we did not greet the capt that day, but in actual fact, he was 'enquiring' about me with the flight dispatcher. WTH. ASked me out to dinner, phone number...

"okay, I'll give you my office number"

Was made the sacrificial lamb to ask the Capt for early ATC clearance...so I went to the cockpit. He wanted to close the stinking cockpit door!! who knows what might have happened..eh eh

Good thing I knew the First Officer and desperately tried to strike a conversation with him but he was really busy :(

S says I'm giving them too much trouble.
Too much unwanted attention. I think she's exaggerating !!!!

About how passengers would complain when they have no complaints just to strike a conversation with me.

Man in yellow polo tee comes up to the counter and wants to make a 'suggestion' Goes on about his 'suggestion'. S says she'll go the check in agent regarding the mistake, and he violently protests.

After 'suggesting' he talks to me....asks me tonnes of brainless irritating questions.....
S calls him a cheekopek.

Few nights ago while I was on night shift, man in yellowe(AGAIN) polo tee is looking for a counter that he can check in at... refers him to business class counter. He sort of kicks up a fuss at the counter claiming that he already blocked a seat. But because he came late, the seats were all released.(DUH) and controller assigned him another aisle seat(mirrored to what he wanted) AND HE INSISTED HE WANTED THE ORIGINAL SEAT.

IS HE CRAZY OR WHAT?!?!! does it even matter it's at J and not B?!

SIAO. started comparing to SQ and all that shit.

After he was done with his whinning, he came over to my counter.
I was busy with my work...
I looked up.

He said in Chinese(cos everyone around me was non-chinese) " Wo Zhi yao gen ni shou ni fei chang fei chang piao liang"
I just want to tell you ,you are very beautiful

And naturally, I went. " HUH?"
I was busy and I anticipated him to say something else(i.e.COMPLAINT) rather than all these bull shit.

So he repeated himself and S who was just behind me also went HUH because she thought he was gonna kick up a fuss about the seat.

He looked at her, then me, face flushed, quickly picked up his stuff and stumbled away.

I went Thank you, Have a Nice flight!

S asked me what he said....translated. and she figured out he must have thought she understoood what she said when she went HUH.

Pervs. I Have to start on my Major project.
Supposedly today...but it has yet to happen.

I NEED TO KICK MY OWN ASS.
I've got a brief summary of what my projects calls for..but it's definitely not enough. How to bring it up a notch when I'm asked to do..checklists?

Anyway, today celebrates the privatisation of CAAS. HAHA..major event! MAAAJOR!
hahaha.
So we didnt get our usual gate. But a B gate.
omg IT HAS THE LONGEST AEROBRIDGE EVER!!! like a bowling alley.

Okay, bye

2009-06-22T10:23:00.000-07:00

my last day @ work. I'm quitting

HAA. What a wonderful day. I need to learn to seal my lips.

2009-06-21T07:47:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends, the next time we hand out together, please do not be alarmed by my behaviour, words I use, Crudeness, Volume of laughter, and remarks I make.

Because I work in an environment where I have to interact with all types of passengers, my threshold of losing my cool has been levelled up. But then again, who said the freaking customer is always damned right?!

3 bloody screwed up passengers made my day!
It was so crudely hilarious, I have learnt the theoretical part of how to be sacarstic. Have yet to apply that though.

I hope I meet one tomorrow(oops).
One was a bloody drunkard.

Scolded the F word before stomping off from the Check In Counter.
Cuse Moi?

He was at fault right from the beginning to not reserving his seat, coming late (as in THE LAST PAX) and demanding for a seat (when the flight was totally full).

ANYWAY, FUNNY STORIES.

Passenger who has already checked in is sitting on the row of chairs next to our counter.
okay, that's normal.

Eccentric part is that, she opened up her umbrella and shelthered herself and 2 friends, IN THE STINKING AIRPORT!

WHAT THE....
forgot to snap a shot :(
It was so hilarious, my laughter echoed throughout the airport. okay ,lame.

Yes, I am learning fast. And am no longer the innocent intern that stepped into the office. (HAHAHAHA that's what my colleagues keep on commenting) I am going ballistic

I've got a creepy stalker story and photosnapping passenger story to tell.
EEKS.

so dear friends, I hope i don't see anyone soon.

2009-06-18T03:09:00.000-07:00

I am so gonna miss these dudes :(
I'm dreading for the end of September....

Because of shift work, all the agents will never ever ever work together in the same shift.

So this calls for gatherings!

Dinner yesterday was at Tampines 1 bbq chicken.

So far, it's one of the craziest dinners...apart from cousin dinners.

Trust me.....do not be fooled by the innocent smiles they've got. actually, it's not really innocent smiles yeah.

My patience is not long enough to narrate out how fun the whole dinner was.

So yeah, there you have it.

10 of us! - 1 on maternity leave :( I miss her so.

SS baked cookies! whee...night shift is joy!

From brownies to cookies to Chewy Junior to Old Chang Kee to Chocolates to Pizza biscuits to Snapple to Milk Shakes to Tako Balls to Lemon Mint drinks to Strawberry Apple Energizer drinks to Biscuits to Coffee Club...and the list goes on

I'm sure that explains jiamin's chubby cheeks and thunder thighs...

BUT WHO CARES!

I had a lot of fun during yesterday's night shift.

I did not sleep, because we were busy chatting away.

SS showed me a picture of her and some guy snapped millions of years ago.

and i was like..okaaaay....so, is he your husband?

Brother?

Godd.Go and ask Greg.

I asked GN and he stared at me like I'm an idiot( i think i am) haha.

OI,YOU SURE YOU DON'T KNOW HIM?

err...NO!?!!?! is he your brother?

TONY LEUNG LA.

????????

huh?

????????

Show's it to FI.

Claims she doesn't know him.

"SEE! Linda does not know him either"

"EHHHH...He sings Malay or english songs meh!?"

ANd we can't stop laughing.

After all these nonsense. They begin interviewing me abou the various actors and singers. Sorry, clueless girl here. Appalled at my knowledge, they begin Youtube-ing & googling artistes names which are like ***** to me.

" You watch HONG KONG movies?"

"YA"

" so what was your last HK movie?"

"er.....CJ7!"

" WAH LAO....THIS KIND OF MOVIE.............................."

"WHAAAT! MY SIBLINGS PLAYED IT, SO I WATCH LA"

"WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU"

" how about red cliff? counteed? Hahahahahaha"

"HOpeless."

I'm the one with stupid questions in the office.

I'm the clueless one.

Every Dialect/Malay/Vulgarity word that comes out from their mouth will be a question from me.

Met a set of really fun crew a few days back.

Very funny Captain who claims I'm a super star.

& that I've got really good acting skills because I was tasked to prank his wife. HAHAHA. He has a really nice wife, very warm and friendly.

When she saw me, it was like...me meeting my aunt.

2009-06-13T00:05:00.001-07:00

I, am feeling agitated, irritated, annoyed.
I'm starting to hate all men

I'm afraid I may just turn gay at the end of these 6 months.

Okay, Kidding.

I need to lose some weight.

2009-06-09T07:56:00.000-07:00

It's weird, that I have zilch memory of ever talking to the cabin crew & the passenger before. They were telling me about what I
told them. But the only thing going through my mind was.....

ZZZZZ...er, are you serious?

I really don't remember talking to you

before.

Maybe I was on alcohol or something.
But it's nice, that they actually remember what we talked about....queer.

I lost 2 pens today. One of mine :( and one of ali's :( :(

My pen is somewhere in Changi Airport, and his, Somewhere in the aircraft in Jakarta.

I don't know how to break the news to him tomorrow. Because if I do, I'll owe him Mrs Fields. Maybe I should go on MC tomorrow.

2009-06-08T01:48:00.000-07:00

Saw Jean yesterday. She's probably considered as my favourite crew.

I don't know why, I just like her a lot!

Yay, she's coming again @ the end of the month!

She's one of the stewardess that as part of the Superbly-

Fun&Nice-Crew that I did not get to spend much time with.

Got a lil shocked when she called me while I was briefing the CSD

"No Manish today"

"I saw him before my flight to SIN,He says Hi, and that he misses you"

"Tell Him I said BYE"

Oops.

But he's a really nice guy! No lunch date :(

2009-06-01T23:30:00.000-07:00

In loving memory of Casper boy.

It's been 21 long years.

2009-05-25T02:50:00.000-07:00

Capt. owes me 5 bucks for snapping a picture of me with his iphone(IWANT)
Saving for my itouch, okay, i've got enough kaa-chiing but i'm still saving for dog knows what reason.

A really fun crew the other day. No chance to hang out. No lunch date. SAD. I was way too busy entertaining passengers.
Lots of weird problems that day.

OKAY, I've decided I'll get my itouch when they return from the US.
I'm green with envy.

3 more months.
i can wait. There's always a 2nd time.

I'm like the biggest sucker.

2009-05-22T08:11:00.000-07:00

TILL THE 30TH, I'M ANTI SOCIAL.

NO SOCIAL GATHERINGS FOR ME.

DONT ASK ME OUT, NEGATIVE.

I'LL COME HOME FROM WORK EVERYDAY.

I'M A MOTHER.

I HATE MYSELF FOR TODAY.

it'll never happen again, promise

2009-05-19T06:50:00.000-07:00

Can you tell I'm gettting chubbier?

Therefore from this minute forth, I am Eating Healthy.

No more snacking during my afternoons.

Poor me.

They're in the States, and I'm here.

Company's 75year anniversary, Bloody grand event and I'm not there.

Sigh Sigh Sigh

Previously, I did not feel any sense of jealousy, but now that they're gone....

I feel, like the BIGGEST LOSER!

All for the sake of my damned internship.

Not that I dislike my job, I love it. But...I'd rather be in LAX now.

What so weird about not opening up my heart to guys?

People think I'm lying about being single for the past 19 years.

Why would I even need a guy?!

I'm surrounded by enough love.

2009-05-17T07:41:00.000-07:00

Today shall be the last of my cheekopek tales, unless I find them particualry funny.

Yesterday
.....
...
..
.

I was on counter duty so I was hanging around the counter, DUH.
I see a lost passenger and approaches him, asking if he needed help.
He was standing in front of the counter and guessed what he asked.

"Where is Q**** counter?"

"sir, you're standing right in front of it, economy class?"

Nods

"You can proceed to that counter"

eee-diot.

He was the stinking pax who had to pay rebooking fee so he went to the counter next to where I was standing.

Wanting to be friendly, I just struck up a conversation about the Aikido T-shirt he was wearing.
Little did I know I was doing myself a disservice.

Damnit.
Talked a little about my AKIDO background (hehe)
And then he went on asking other questions.
wanted to give me his name card.
Fine...

While searching for his name card, he asked for my email.
I pretended I could not hear.
BUsy busy me.

he asked again.

FINE, u want my email?!?!!?
I'll give you POTI'S email address.

K and G were behind the counter sniggering.

*stares

"Irfan? your name?"

"no, I just like it" smiles*

I shake his hand and walks away before he can talk anymore.
To my horror, he sits on a chair next to my counter and stares.
He meets my eye a couple of times and I smile. then gossip.

I'm oblivious to my surroundings. I am busy busy.
Idiot.
He come over to ask stupid questions, and K types" I think he's back for you, shoo him away"

"HAHA, very funny"

So...time passes by.....and I"m closing the counter.
I see him standing up, and not walking away, but towards me :(

" Can I have your number?"

"Er...NO"

"why?"

"No reason..byee"

Finally, he leaves. PRAISE THE WORLD.
Who gives a damn if he the president of some ass-hole-ciation

Today K tells me Yati(checked him in) told her that cheekopek was interviewing her about me. EW GROSS. PUKEs.

EW. Want his name card?

2009-05-15T08:06:00.000-07:00

I need to be less defensive towards guys.
I'm such a mess.

No matter how much i like / dislike anyone of them, my guard is always up, because it's been drilled into my head how bad the world is.

It's a scandalous bitchy place to be!
I like, so long as I'm the by-stander.

2009-05-11T07:19:00.000-07:00

haha!

365days ago...

Man, I miss Vesak day. esecially last year.

When exams weren't around, attachment free, army free.

Everyday was just spent at the site.

Being sleep deprived, and bloody cheekopek frustrated, I had 2 major mood swings at the site.

sigh, topic of the year :(

I need to get a hold of my emotions.

After assisting in the dismantling the site, I went straight to work.

with probably a 1 hour nap to fuel me on.

And to make matters worse, I went out after work instead of coming home.

Woke up early today with around 6 hours :( :( I'm dying.

Tomorrow, another long day.

Being sleep deprived is all worth while.

Omy, My sundae is in the office's freezer.

Because we had a mini party in the office today

I miss vesak day.

I spent so little timeat the site this year, but i spoke to old ppl i've never spoke to before.

And i realised they're really fun to be with.

Which is quite amazing because I used to think we're on 2 very different levels.

Sigh, so judgemental.

But that's the past... I still had a lot of fun this year!

Although I spent less time in the kitchen, Less time chanting, less time washing fruits, less time playing the drums, less time helping.

saving for my itouch.

I'm in love!!!

2009-05-07T16:31:00.000-07:00

i've just reached home.

removed that facade of a bitch make up.

And i'm supposed to be asleep.

But I'm working on my interview.

Damnit.

I need sleep, no sleep for me today, will be at the site the whole day.

Oh , my devotion to the shrine.

Being at the site is the place I wanna be at right now.

Calm and serene.

My frazzled appearance is no worry, I feel at ease.

Heartland aunties chitter chatter in the kitchen while preparing our yummy meals, I'm there too, chopping, listening to their conversation.

It's a yearly thing, I'm classified as an auntie too.

I'm everywhere.

haha, an hour of sleep is all I need man! WHOO HOO. I AM READY TO GO!

truth is, I'm a lil sad.

I've never asked for all of these.

Such superficial qualities guys looks for.

I used to find it funny, now it's not.

I know, just sooner or later, tongues will wag, and I'll cry.

I don't know how to put it, but I'm feeling very frustrated, I want to go to the site now.

Why is this so frustrating?

I really did not ask for any of this to happen....

2009-05-05T09:14:00.000-07:00

Only FOUR Pictures for my viewing Pleasure.

@ Town Office.

SHAH with ENDDI :)

ENDDI & I

@ CATERING

Us in Bathrobes

Dont know why I'm pouting, but it was because I was waiting for my PRESIDENT's Vegetarian meal.

I think I was too sleepy, I gave him my number instead of pot's eyes.

No wonder I scribbled so fast.

What a loser I am.

Wanna know what he messaged me?

2009-05-03T00:19:00.000-07:00

KOKO BEAN'S COMING OF ADULTHOOD YESTERDAY.

Surprise Party at the site.
Vegetarian Birdday cake,lots of snacks.
Helluva lots of fun, zilch pictures.

Then off we went for our flyer distribution expedition.
Covered 2 blocks that both seemed like mazes with zee kee and zong herc.

I CHERISH....chalk board is up.
Really great concept and philosophy behind the mirror hung on the chalkboard. Go figure....

Had fun playing with chalk.
Time for me to leave due work...
but 1st, DINNER!!!

omg, SRUMPDEELEEUMPCIOUS.
As always, Mama whips up the best dishes ever imagined.

Work was great,as always.
A group of perv Russian guys. Hmm...no comments.
One of 'em is quite hot.
The rest were gross.

The pretty boy just stared at me after he checked in, I smiled.
Continues staring.
Turns away.
Talks to Jess, Spots the guy from the corner of my eye.

Sees him walking towards me.
Turns and stand behind the counter.
Our eyes meet again and he looks like some stalker.

Then he talks to his friends in Russian(I suppose).
And his group of 4 friends turn and look at me.
Wth.

I smile, and curse.
Waves goodbye.

This friend of his, kinda old, with a pot belly.
Gives me a thumbs up sign and a flying kiss.

I'm confused.

Mr engineering uncle wants to matchmake his Fighter jet pilot son to me.
Okay....

I'm really confused.
I see nothing in myself that they see in me.

2009-04-30T06:11:00.000-07:00

In no order of timely sequence.

The bakery smelt damned good. I love the smell of bakeries!!!

There was a BOUTIQUE BAKERY at SATS kitchen.

Entrance to the SUPER CLEAN facility.

Everyone's in that outfit before the machine gives us a Dry bath.

I see the flour silo machine. Truckloads of flour. Literally.

It was the 1st time in my whole entire life( yes, sad for me) that I saw so many pieces of bread going on and on and on, resting on plastic trays, stacked on top of one another in a couple of rooms.

LIKE OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME

Spot thos silver circular objects on the right?

Those are the machines that blow extra strong wind while you stand in the middle to rid off dust,dirt, fallen hair.

OMG, super cool machine!

Hard to explain, but it was like MAGIC

I was in the control centre, I finally met LIM(caterer who we sometimes talk to when we cater meals) Didn't get a chance to meet the rest. Shifts :(

Caterers preparing the side dishes for our flight :)

Hot meals for our flight in the SUPER CHILLED room.

It was really cold, My saliva turned to ice.

Very complex and cool system.

If you've watched MOnster Inc, just try substituting the doors moving on the cable car like system with the meal trolleys.

Hi Shah.

Shan't show you my boss's picture HAHA.

Today marks TheEnd of my reservation experience @ Town office Paragon.

I was an understudy to SK ( reservation) and I dozed off at the counter.

SHIT.

Good thing Big boss did not see me nor were there any customers during that period.

I miss the airport.

haha! These 2 days were my virgin experience of a sit down office hour job.

FAINTS..

CANNOT TAKE IT.

There's still interaction with customers( when they walk in), and some customers were really funny, really pretty , no handsome ones though.

sad.

Really nice and funky people, but, the job's not for me.

haha!

Learnt a lot from the experts.

More of reservation.

Almost NIL on finance and sales.

Nonetheless it was a great experience, at least now we know how the people we're sending Telexes to look like, YOUNG. :D

Night shift today. It's Labour day! Everyone should be working!!!!

I MISS MY JOB MAN.

2009-04-27T01:27:00.000-07:00

Yeap, I won't stop smiling.
This morning's crew were really nice and friendly.

Great capt. because he wanted to leave early, and we did!

0209. that like damn good, we're on par with the record timing.
We could have set a new record timing, thanks but no thanks to catering.

THE 3 PLASTIC CONTAINERS OF YOGURT CAUSED US THOSE FEW PRECIOUS SECONDS.
eeks.

THe CSD closed L1 before the yogurt arrived and she had to open it again.
Tick Tock TIck TOck.

"Don't stop smiling!"

" I wont :D"

I think I smile too much.
CSD told DO that I'm always smiling, DO says after my 6 months here, Don't know if I'll still be smiling as much. HAHA WTH

As the crew approaches the Counter, I'm already smiling. -.-

Capt," Ah! U're all smiles as usual."

Really meh....I only saw him twice.

I'm bored, I wanna work.
I wanna see the aircraft with first class coming in today! OMGGG.
SHAH IS ONE LUCKY DUDE.

Please commence B777 operations into SIN by May..I WANT TO SEE THE AIRCRAFT'S INTERIOR.

I bet it'd be so cool, and Huge, and Sleek, And pretty, And clean.
I want to work, I'm bored.

Town Office @ Paragon on Wed& Thurs.
I wonder if people working there are sick of going to Orchard Road. I guess they must be.

2009-04-25T23:03:00.000-07:00

While I'm on Aircraft Duty.

Some turnaround acitivties!

Catering @ 0122 hrs. The aroma made my gastric juices go wild

SATS catering!

My J class. Felt like plopping down for a 10mins nap.

Upper Right Hand Corner, That's the OCC! He has Superdeeduper pretty eye lashes.

Still in J(beesnest) class. Down the aisle are the engineers.

In the galley. Mr Air Steward blocking my view

Stewar(t) Number 5.

This set of crew has many cheekopeks.

Saw those 2 air stewards from the stupid flight I handled the other day.

And one proclaims to be my boyfriend.

Mr-wants-my-number appears from no where.

"Your boyfriend's at the back and he misses you"

"huh?"

"Let me go get him here"

"He is not my boyfriend."

Walks away.

Was staring at a steward conducting sercurity checks in the galley and was amazed at everything(because I'm sleepy HAHA)

He opened a container (hm, that's the closest word I can find to describe those metal things) and the aroma of coffee sent me straight up to heaven....ahhhh

He then pushed the cup towards me and I take a deep breath in.

SWOONS.

omg, like a drug addict.

Then he offers me a cookie.

Yay.

I was hanging around the forward galley of the aircraft looking at the catering uncle and steward doing some foodie breifing on the Meals On Board. The catering Uncle is funny.

And I saw SUSHI, SALAD, FRUITS.

My oh My.

Then the 3 of us started talking. This is why I like aircraft duty!

The steward's a pleasant looking indian guy,really tall. Nice chap.

And so, before the passenger door closes, my worst nightmare.

Holy cow.

I must have been hallucinating.

I must have! Because I was sleepy. I must have been seeing things.

TSK TSK, Jiamin Jiamin, U must be too tired.

Memory erased.

My first solo duty :D cool

But I was a lil lost when I got called out because a baggage(with no name) was delivered from an inbound flight. Like wth.

Isn't loading supposed to be carried out in the ramp? But I'm guessing since it was nameless, No one knew what to do with it.

So I had to walkie my DO and explain things even though I was clueless.

I was just rambling on with the information the staff gave to me.

And they were laughing at me, because I kept on giving me the 'what-did-I-just-say' look.

My 3rd night shift tonight!

Wish me luck!

2009-04-24T05:57:00.000-07:00

I'm down on luck.
Where's my lucky star?

My wallet's missing.
My allowance is gone.
My matric card is gone.

My vegetarian fast accidently got broken.

I had to see that bitch CSD.
God, bitch faced diva attitude.
To hell with you. Do I look like I owe you a living you lowly mundane mortal.
Bloody hell,I'll be seeing her , AGAIN, tomorrow.
Night shift.

WEll, not everything's been bad.
I completed my post flight documentation in around 15-30minutes.
about three times faster than usual and had 3 hours to slack till i clocked out.

I'm sad.
Kind soul please return me my wallet.

2009-04-23T06:17:00.000-07:00

BLOODY HELL, I'M FREAKING PISSED

TODAY.

FREAKING SHIT I'M TELLING YOU.

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS CAN'T BE CARRIED OUT.

WHAT THE FREAK IS A GROUND HANDLER FOR IF

THINGS CAN'T BE DONE AND ALL THE NEGATIVE

ENERGY GETS RADIATED AT ME BECAUSE I'M THE

AIRLINE REP, AND A LOSER INTERN.

WHAT THE HELL DO WE GIVE OUR GHA A COPY OF OUT FIS FOR?! TO CHUCK IT ASIDE AND ACT FEIGN IGNORANCE?
DAMNIT.

Where was the freaking WCHC when I needed it.
Bird brains.

I HATE MISTAKES.
AND TODAY SUCKED.

I bet the captain and CSD hates me now.

I pay the price for another idiot's mistake.
I got played out.
I arrived at the gate early, asked if my 3 wheelchairs were present.
YES.
how about the cabin wheelchair?
YES.

Being a newbie, I did not know how a WCHC looked like and trusted naively.

AND WHEN MY WCHC WAS NOT THERE FOR MY

PASSENGER, I HAD TO RECIEVE ALL THE SHIT

WHILE THE WCHC WAS ON IT'S WAY FROM 1

TERMINAL AWAY.

AND TO ADD ON TO MY FRUSTRATION, THOSE 2

CRAZY STEWARDS HAD TO ASK ME OUT AND FOR MY

NUMBER WHEN THE 12 CREW WERE WAITING FOR

THEM. I WAS SO IRRITATED AT THAT PERIOD OF

TIME, I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA SHOUT.

I SPILT ORGANE JUICE ON MY WHITE PANTS WHILE I

WAS AT SIC2

AND DRIPPED CHOCOLAATE ON MY WHITE PANTS

WHILE I WAS IN THE OFFICE EATING THE PASTRY

FROM SIC2.

I WAS RUNNING ALL OVER TODAY.

LET'S JUST SAY IT WASN'T THAT A GOOD DAY TODAY.

Apart from all this shit, I got to go the SATS INFLIGHT CATERING KITCHEN 2 today.
It was amazing and food was superb cos the chef specially cooked a vegetarian meal for me fit for an airline's president( no kidding)

I'll blog about it later, or tomorrow when I'm happier!
